Kryten: Mr Lister sir can’t you see that your behaviour is totally irrational?
Rimmer: In which case we can relive him of duty as per Space Corp Directive 196156.
Kryten: 196156? Any officer caught sniffing the saddle of the exercise bicycle in the women’s gym will be discharged without trial. Hmm, I’m sorry sir but that doesn’t quite get to the nub of the matter for me.
